Rohini Acharya blames Sanjay Yadav, Rameez for causing rift in family: Who are they?

The association between Sanjay and Tejashwi grew quickly after 2015 assembly election. The election campaign of RJD-led Mahagathbandhan was then designed and controlled by political strategist Prashant Kishor as Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) was part of alliance. This resulted in formation of Mahagathbandhan government after the 2015 assembly election.However, ahead of 2020 assembly elections when Lalu’s health deteriorated, Sanjay was made in-charge of ‘war room’. He established his position in RJD’s first family.Sanjay looked after the election campaign of Tejashwi Yadav during 2020 assembly election in which RJD emerged as single largest party with 75 seats. In 2024, he was elevated to Rajya Sabha as RJD MP. Later, he became the most influential figure in RJD after Tejashwi.Sanjay is also known for several key political interventions, including advising that RJD posters feature only Tejashwi to counter ‘jungle raj’ barbs, pushing the promise of 10 lakh government jobs in 2020, and trying to broaden the party’s appeal beyond its Muslim–Yadav base. He also urged Tejashwi to take a softer line on Nitish Kumar’s return to the NDA, a departure from the sharp criticism seen in 2017.
